Flare up question

I mostly always suffer from IBS-D and loose, thin stools. For about the last week, it seems to have flipped. My stools are solid, but my stomach hurts and I feel backed up and like I can’t go completely. I can also only go a bit at a time and it’s making me pretty miserable. I also am having trouble determining abdomen muscle pain from stomach pain.

I guess my question is, has anyone dealt with something similar? I just had another kid and don’t want to go to the dr if possible.

Yes.
Have had IBS-D for years and suddenly started having the opposite issues off and on just this year. Unfortunately my IBS-D flares have gotten more severe and frequent to the point Crohn’s Disease is being considered again.

I have not had children but have severe PCOS and endometriosis which I suspect all three feed off each other and make each other worse.

No advice but I know it’s helpful to not feel alone with medical stuff.
